Choosing the Right Agent: What to Look For and Questions to Ask
Choosing the Right Agent: What to Look For and Questions to Ask
Select an agent with local experience, clear communication, and a strategy that aligns with your goals. Ask about recent transactions in your target area, their negotiation success stories, and references from past clients. Check licensing records and any professional designations that demonstrate additional training.
Discuss availability and preferred communication methods; you want an agent who responds reliably during critical moments. Clarify commission structure, expected support services, and whether the agent works with a team. Finally, evaluate chemistry — trust and mutual respect matter because you'll work closely through a high-stakes process.
Interview multiple agents and choose the one who offers a balanced combination of expertise, market knowledge, and responsiveness. The right agent becomes an advocate and a multiplier for your success
